- Interval, cafeteria.
Li Yuri, Lu Jeongshan, Su Lan, Mo Xuanji and Tang Min were sitting on the same table.
Su Lan sobbed pitifully, "I'm surely gonna be beaten to death if I fail this test.."
Li Yuri nodded her head while eating, "You're not alone, Sis Lan.."
Mo Xuanji bit her chopsticks, seemingly deep in thought.
Li Yuri nudged Tang Min, who was sitting beside her, "What is wrong with her?"
Tang Min suddenly stood up, as if he was very agitated, "How would I know?!"
His loud voice garnered everyone's attention, as they peered at their table curiously.
Li Yuri froze before awkwardly retracting her hand.
Tang Min glanced at Li Yuri then at Lu Jeongshan and left.
Lu Jeongshan frowned slightly, looking at the girl, who was in daze.
Li Yuri pursed her lips as she ate her food while murmuring.
"What is wrong with him today? He's never been so cold towards me.. And he also looked annoyed and irritated.. Is he in his period?"
Mo Xuanji choked: "..."
Su Lan's mouth twitched, "..." Eh, Sis Ri is really.. different.
Lu Jeongshan speechlessly swallowed his words of comfort, "..."

- Weekends, Student Help Club.
Li Yuri panted as she opened the door and immediately spotted all four of them inside the room.
"Hello, everyone arrived early today!" She said shamelessly while huffing slightly.
Everyone else, "..."
Tang Min sneered mockingly, "We're not early; you're the one who arrived late!"
Li Yuri blinked acting innocent, "Eh? Really?"
Su Lan nodded her head.
Mo Xuanji coughed but didn't say anything.
Li Yuri said with a smile, "Actually, I'm just a little late."
Lu Jeongshan expressionlessly said while looking at his watch.
"You're approximately 34 minutes 28 seconds late from our appointed time. Little late indeed."
Li Yuri, "...?!"
'Bro Shan, what grudge do you have against me? Little late indeed?! Are you mocking me?'
To be honest, she had become late because she was busy sleeping and forgot that she had a meeting arranged today.
She only realized it when her mother passingly remarked about it during breakfast. And then she had rushed over here.
So she was not only late.. but very late at that.
"Ahem.. Since we're all here, let's get to work first instead of arguing.." Su Lan came to her rescue.
Li Yuri glanced at her with tears.
'Sis Lan, you're my savior! From today on, you're my great aunt!'
Su Lan gave her an awkward look that said, 'Sis Ri, it's okay. I don't want to be your aunt!'
Tang Min humphed but didn't say anything in refusal. Mo Xuanji was still silent.
Lu Jeongshan walked away towards a corner of the room and grabbed an apron.
The others also followed his lead and put on their aprons.
Li Yuri looked at the room and noticed that the previously dark and dirty room had turned into a clean one.
The broken windows had already been replaced and except for the walls that needed color, everything was great.
Tang Min grabbed a bucket of paint and threw it at Li Yuri. The latter caught the bucket with a perplexed look.
Tang Min smirked and said, "The late person should get a punishment! Go and paint that corner."
Everyone turned silent. The corner he was referring to above the door which was obviously taller than Li Yuri's entire person.
Li Yuri flashed a death glare at him but the latter didn't mind and even turned to ask others, "Well, don't you guys agree?"
Li Yuri looked at the other three, expecting them to disagree but none of them had an objection.
Looking at them with a hurt and betrayed expression, Li Yuri took the bucket of paint and dejectedly walked towards the door.
The three people, "..."
Why was she acting as though we betrayed her?! Someone give this dramatic queen an Oscar!
Meanwhile, Tang Min was acting all smug.
Lu Jeongshan quietly walked towards a corner with his paint. The others also followed his steps, as if he was their leader.

- Class 1-1
Song Lin was having extra classes along with a few classmates. She turned to Sheng Hi Fan and pursed her lips, "Hifan.."
Sheng Hi Fan turned to her and asked softly, "What is it, Linlin?"
His gentle voice made Song Lin flush slightly, making her look like a typical teenage girl in love.
Song Lin mustered up her courage and asked while clenching the tickets in her hand that was under the desk, "Are you free tomorrow?"
Sheng Hi Fan pondered for a while before nodding his head, "Yes, why?"
Song Lin subtly smiled and continued with her eyes sparkling, "I bought two concert tickets.. Will you-"
Suddenly, the door opened with a bang and her words got cut off.
Song Lin's eyes turned cold as she sharply turned to the door.
Who is this person ruining her conversation with Hifan?!
